Nanshe – Goddess of water, Goddess of fertility, Goddess of Prophecy, Goddess of Social Justice, Lady of the Storerooms.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Nanshe was worshipped from the 3rd <\/span>millennium<\/span> BCE to the advent of Christianity, throughout the history of Mesopotamia.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

She was born to Enki, the God of wisdom, magic and water and Ninhursag, a Mother and Earth Goddess. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Being most strongly associated with water, she is the Goddess of fishing. The fish is one of her symbols, as s symbol of life; her other symbol is the pelican, who sacrifices itself to feed her young. She is often depicted as a woman dancing above the water. Her father gave her dominion over the waters of the Persian Gulf, and all living creatures within it.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
